About
and beyond
The
trip to Belgium
was a short trip planned on short notice.
It covered 2 cities,
4 countries and 1200 kilometres in 3 days - with probably
the same amount of time spent driving along unknown highways
and walking down unknown city streets. It turned out i choose
the hottest days of the year for this trip: in August 2003,
all Europe was glowing in an unusal high named "Michaela"
- but thanks to aircon in car and hotel this just added to
the travel high.

Books

Western
Europe
Lonely Planet Travelguide
Normally i would buy a travel guide for the place i travel
to.. especially when it is a place i haven't been to before.
but as this trip was rather about Brussels and the drive up
there and back, i just copied the Brussels pages out of my
Western Europe LP.

Reisetaschenbuch
Brüssel
Dumont
A paperback guide to Brussels.. i borrowed it from the local
library just the day before i went on the trip. it had all i
needed in it: the usual infos, some maps, some suggestions for
city walks with descriptions and some pages of history. |

Dr.
Sax
Jack Kerouac
Also from the local library. at first i planned to take "Lord
of the Rings I" with me to Belgium, but then switched to
Kerouac when i saw it in the bookshelf of the library - it's
just so much more of a travel book. maybe not one of his best
books, though. |
